+AtlantaGal Posted August 6, 2006 Posted August 6, 2006 These look much nicer than the artwork. Marky was right on that call Sent email for a boy and a girl. Quote
+pghlooking Posted August 6, 2006 Posted August 6, 2006 He was only 5 days old to find his first geocoin. My kids couldn't even hold their own heads up at that age. That is very impressive. Quote
+Mandollyn Posted August 6, 2006 Posted August 6, 2006 Much better than your artwork! Still would have liked to have your geocaching ID on there somewhere!!! Quote
Phantom_Dog Posted August 6, 2006 Posted August 6, 2006 and what does this have to do with geocaching? NOTHING! Quote
+pghlooking Posted August 6, 2006 Posted August 6, 2006 and what does this have to do with geocaching? NOTHING! You must have missed the part about being only 5 days old and finding his first Geocoin. That surely makes it geocaching related doesn't it? Quote
+the4defaus Posted August 6, 2006 Posted August 6, 2006 Baby Geocaching... We took our 7 month old out aching for the first time at 3 weeks old and she has been going caching with us every time since. The coins are really cute, we'll take one of each. Email sent. Quote

You must have missed the part about being only 5 days old and finding his first Geocoin. That surely makes it geocaching related doesn't it? Yeah, I read the entire post. I hope he did not find it during a bushwack. Diaper rash is bad enough, just try mixing it with poison ivy. You might also want to consider that the other babies might make fun of him wearing pink diapers. I just don't know. Whatever people choose to blow their cash on is fine.

Nacaya Posted August 7, 2006 Posted August 7, 2006 Yeah, I read the entire post. I hope he did not find it during a bushwack. Diaper rash is bad enough, just try mixing it with poison ivy. You might also want to consider that the other babies might make fun of him wearing pink diapers. I just don't know. Whatever people choose to blow their cash on is fine. Who cares? If you don't like geocoins, fine. It's you opinion. But why can't you just be queit about that? I personally like the idea of making a coin of your own child. Hey, imagine how surprised he will be some years later! 'Mommy, that was really me?!' 'No son, it _is_ really you ' Quote
+Team JSAM Posted August 7, 2006 Posted August 7, 2006 It's you opinion. But why can't you just be queit about that? Because this is America and that is his right. Quote
+ozymandiasism Posted August 7, 2006 Posted August 7, 2006 It's you opinion. But why can't you just be queit about that? Because this is America and that is his right. hmmm... actually.. no. Nacaya is in Germany, and the original poster, Fundamental and Venlis, is in Finland. So, just because YOU are in America doesn't make THIS America. Quote
+Rattlingcrew Posted August 7, 2006 Posted August 7, 2006 In spite of what the grumpy and negative ones have to say today, I wold like two of these. I think is is a novel idea. It is sad to see the coin forums deteriorating into bashing threads. Thanks, Glen Quote
Phantom_Dog Posted August 7, 2006 Posted August 7, 2006 Who cares? If you don't like geocoins, fine. It's you opinion. But why can't you just be queit about that? I love geocoins. I hate nonsense coins that have nothing to do with geocaching and for made for the sole purpose of putting a buck in someone's pocket. If you don't care then why waste your time posting responses about it? I thought stating our opinions is what these forums are all about. I personally like the idea of making a coin of your own child. Hey, imagine how surprised he will be some years later! 'Mommy, that was really me?!' 'No son, it _is_ really you ' You have got to be kidding. You can order these coins as a boy or girl. They do not come much more generic than that! Try this: imagine how surprised he will be some years later! 'Mommy, that was really me in PINK diapers? No son, it was just a money making ploy based on the premise that a 5-day old baby wandered into the woods with a GPS unit and found a container containing a coin. Quote

PSSST....Groundspeak is a Seattle based company, which makes it and it's forums US run. As long as people follow the guidelines it doesn't matter where people are from. Now when someone posts a coin for sale it will get opinions from both sides. Imagine that. Not everyone will have a rubber stamp of approval saying this is awesome. Now I am pretty sure where your support comes from since you have made, and contine to make coins for sale for profit. So forgive me if I take your comments and support with a grain of salt. Quote

As long as people follow the guidelines it doesn't matter where people are from. Now when someone posts a coin for sale it will get opinions from both sides. Imagine that. Not everyone will have a rubber stamp of approval saying this is awesome. Stealing from my other thread: In my observations, most times when "one of you" post comments regarding geocoins, majority of these comments are negative towards the coins, or the posters, or both. I don't care how liberal a person can be, but when everytime you see the same individuals express the same negative comments on the same subject, his patience is going to wear thin. And negative comments are generally being taken in as personal attacks, regardless of the intentions. It is just human nature. Thus, I'm not saying you have no right to express your negative feedbacks, but you should also expect the same type of feedback going back to you. Now I am pretty sure where your support comes from since you have made, and contine to make coins for sale for profit. So forgive me if I take your comments and support with a grain of salt. Well, so much for you response in the other thread complaining about people go straight at the poster rather than to the issue. I have no idea where this is coming from. And quite frankly, I would love to find out where my "support" is. I have created one set of coins so far and a lot of people have enjoyed them, and along the process, I have learned a great deal about manufacturing process. It is fun and I intend to do more. And no worries about taking my comments and "support" lightly. I never care about yours either. I tend to treat people with respect until they have proven to me othrwise, but I always treat them the way they treat me. And yes, permission doesn't override common sense. So use it wisely. Quote

+Cornerstone4 Posted September 22, 2006 Posted September 22, 2006 Ok gang, here is a quick update! I am sorry it took so long, but I just got everything mailed today. We were on vacation for 9 days, and when I got to the office this Monday, the coins were waiting for me on my desk. It took me a while to get caught up on regular business, and I didn't make time until today. I got all US and Canadian orders packed, and took them all to the post office. Some of you are going to have some interesting looking postage on your packages! I had some stamps already, so I used the scale in the lobby to weigh the different quantity envelopes to get the required postage. I stamped everything I could, and dropped them in the box. I then went to the counter and got in line. I needed more stamps, and I had to do the forms for the Canadian shipments. Well, the clerk through a couple of envelopes on the scale, and his postage caluculated to be more than the scale out front said. He grabbed some envelopes, and we walked out front...sure enough, the scale out front was out of calibration! Aargh! He had to go in back, and gather all of the other envelopes up. I had to add odd amounts of stamps to meet the new postage required. Some of the envelopes are covered in stamps! Anywayl, I think I may have sent a girl coin, for one boy coin somewhere, so if anyone is off, please let me know. Thanks for your patience. C4 Quote
+Molinnis Posted September 23, 2006 Posted September 23, 2006 Coins received. very nice. Well pleased. Thankyou. Quote
